Black Berry Pearl 8130

[~WinGz~]

Well, where do I begin?

I've had my phone for about 8 months now and i've never gone through more then 1 phone on anything i've ever owned. I currently had my phone replaced for the 6th time now. This new phone keeps freezing up on and now its been locking up so that even a soft reset takes forever. I have almost no images, i wipe everything on it every so often. I even backed everything up on my phone.

I have a Verizon Blackberry Pearl 8130.

They keep telling me that they have never heard of anyone having as many issues as mine. Yet the refuse to give me a different phone after 6 replacements and the same stupid issues.

Is it really just me or is this a really junky phone?

Yes my phone is updated to its highest firmware too, no extra programs and no music besides whats on my memory card.

..Bump...

Noone else has any issues with this phone?

My works fine, although sometimes a badly coded app will crash the phone or leak memory.

I've installed a program called SoftReset so I don't have to physically yank the battery out when trying out new programs.

my biggest problem is that i only have the apps that are on my phone. So I can rule those out of it.

I just wish I knew why I was having so many issues with this phone.

How much memory do you have? Hold the left shift and press EACE.

I got both the Blackberry 8310 Curve and the Blackberry Pearl 8130 and both work fine for me. I can even use the Curve as a modem for my laptop

That is the total memory. How much is available or free?

They can't refuse to give you a replacement phone. Do THEY see the problem? If you go in there and are ubable to replicate the symptoms then sure, they don't have to replae it.

They have seen the problems. It took the tech 10 minutes just to get it to turn back on. After locking up.

also 23949612 bytes free.

That is not normal....

On my blackberry curve (Which is the 8130) from Telus, with the default install, it has about 12megs left.... so I think you might be missing something.

Try this:

1- Plug your BB on your computer.

2- Go here: http://vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry/ And download the latest Verizon thingy manager (Strange, they seem to have rebranded the blackberry's proprietary software).

I know that I had some little issues with my phone and a simple software update cleared it all up.

Alright, ill see if that works.

If it doesn't i'm taking my phone in and i'ma try to find someone reasonable to talk to and try to get rid of the pearl for good.

After so many bad phones, I just want something that works.

After six replacements of my Treo 650 Sprint gave me a Treo 700. Make SURE you keep all your reciepts. Even with a replacement you SHOULD get a reciept, if not ASK for one.
